Building trust with consumers has never been more important, with a surplus of choice, e-commerce fakes on the rise and at a time when consumer spending is low. Threedium’s proprietary 3D and AR engine, Unlimited3D has the highest fidelity 3D assets across web and mobile, with real-time customizable AR. This enables any B2C brand or LVMH retailer across fashion, gaming, automotive CPG and more, to display their goods as hyper-realistic 3D assets, allowing customers to interact with the product, zoom in or out, see it from any angle, try it on, change the color, size or material before committing to purchase -right from the browser, with no friction of downloading an app.

Mike Charalambous, Co-founder and CEO of Threedium explains, “The world of static 2D e-commerce is becoming archaic. User behavior is evolving and brands striving for distinction recognize the need to meet consumer demands for enriched, customizable experiences on the spatial web. This new round of investment reinforces the trust investors place in our mission to revolutionize digital landscapes, equipping businesses with engaging and immersive capabilities.”

Threedium offers more than just the highest quality foundational technology for 3D/AR experiences. Through its own engine or API’s it allows for full autonomy and creativity in crafting, customizing, and scaling thousands of bespoke 3D assets and turnkey 3D solutions seamlessly across web, mobile, and digital media channels. Its scalability and cross-channel capabilities mean that 3D models don’t need to be reformatted for different online customer facing channels, helping CMO’s & brand managers cut down on their non-working spends for content production, in-store activations, or gaming initiatives. It’s also the only 3D company to have developed a proprietary file format, .TUF, to block AI & web theft of 3D files, rather than other open-source platforms that put IPs at risk.
